Hmmm....as far as proportion goes.

A little secret of mine is to reverse the canvas(in other words invert it horizontally). If you want to see it on traditional terms>Try holding a light at the back of the paper and see if it projects the drawings.
~Doing this allows you to see what part of the drawing is "skewed"( or slanted,I'm not sure if that's the right word for it). Therefore you can fix the drawing,and things that seem "off"(most likely only the slanted side would need fixing).After fixing to where your satisfied,things will look more "straight" and even.You'll be able to tell from practice.And if reversing it doesn't look weird:/skewed/slanted,guess what? :Your fine. XD.But you can still do it once in a while to make sure.

I say the prior.Because from my vision, this seems about right for bodily proportion. Keeping in mind it is a young character.But it is hard for me to define because I'm am not sure of the actual age(I'm sure someone with more experience would fair better at a glance).About the character and shading as well. Try shading according to light source in mind. If the light source is ultimately out of the picture. Try imagining where it is while you are coloring. It can give more depth and helps to give dark and light highlights some attention. The farther the light source from a side of the object.The darker it is shaded,and vice-versa(closer to light source).You can just do "sun" and "moon" to start and add on more sources as you progress. This is all that comes to mind foh now lol. I think I'm forgetting something or not(idk). My work-style is clustered.But you can ask me/note me if you don't understand(assuming you favor an aspect of how I compose).  I always check/reply to my notes

I will say also:You've done a great job indicating perspective with colors(like near & far distance) !I'm not sure if the concept naturally came to you.But I like the vastness the night-sky gives off.
The colors you chose for the grass helps make the character recede more realistically.

Hope  this helps ^_^;~& Happy drawing.
